Gee...what I MEANT to say was that even if Mexico didn't make changes to their system we could at least take comfort in knowing that AID wasn't being sent to help prop up a tyrannical system. That this system of tyranny was not perpetuated by our actions. We could also seek out and support those who were trying to legitimately change the system from within.

I see the results of our aid first hand. The rich elite over there are the only ones who benefit from our aid, they don't lose out on a luxury vacation in Spain. The average person is still forced to leave the country because they give up believing things will ever improve. Our tax dollars help certain types in keeping their hold on power and never making changes to democracy or capitalism for the majority.
